[Bacula-users] Bacula daemon message- where did it come from?

Hello,

Yesterday (Sunday) I received an email from bacula-dir but I don't know why. It contains old authentication error messages from a week ago (see below) that I'd rectified on the 03 August later in the day. I don't know why I received this message now, and I'd like to prevent it from recurring. ...It makes my boss anxious. :-)

The mail was sent at 11:00 UTC. There is no other job scheduled in bacula-dir or in cron that would take place at the time this email was sent. My maillog is consistent with that. I have verified that the mail came from bacula-dir

I wonder if a start of the bacula director would send an email, but I just tried it and it did not send the email again (see the cron operations that are performed, below). Does bacula-dir send error messages that are <= 1 week old, upon startup?

At 11:00 UTC my system performs the following from cron, in order to perform a binary backup:

systemctl stop bacula-dir
systemctl stop bacula-sd
systemctl stop bacula-fd

systemctl stop mysqld

(copy database dir)

systemctl start mysqld

systemctl start bacula-fd

systemctl stop bacula-sd
systemctl stop bacula-dir

Thanks for any help.
